Policy Brief - State Duties regarding Immigration and Visa Waiver policies
The Palestinian BDS National Committee (BNC), as the largest coalition of Palestinian civil society and the leadership of the global BDS movement, calls on partners, allies and supporters across the world to pressure their governments to amend immigration and visa policies to align with international legal standards and obligations.
No Room for Genocide: Organizing Toolkit
This July, we launched the 'No Room for Genocide' campaign, calling on global civil society to pressure governments to amend immigration and visa policies to align with international legal standards and obligations. Across the world, the demand for ending Israel’s genocide in Gaza and holding it accountable for its atrocity crimes are growing. International law is clear on legal obligations of Third States to end all forms of complicity in the commission of Israel’s war crimes, crimes against humanity (including apartheid), and “plausible” genocide. These include the responsibility to ensure war criminals are denied passage or haven by Third States and prosecuted for their crimes. Countering the wilful negligence of states in upholding this responsibility and responding to the Palestinian civil society call to ensure there is No Room for Genocide, small businesses in the hospitality and tourism sector as well as solidarity groups are taking courageous actions. To amplify this campaign and support hospitality business owners, ethical tourism movements and solidarity groups in taking effective action, read and share this campaign toolkit.

Boycott Emirates Airline Festival of Literature 2026
The Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel (PACBI), a founding member of the largest coalition in Palestinian society that leads the global BDS movement, calls upon all conscientious Arab and international authors to withdraw from the Emirates Airline Festival of Literature 2026, which is scheduled to begin on January 21, 2026.
Live Nation: Artwashing Israel’s Live-Streamed Genocide
PACBI calls for pressure on Live Nation Entertainment, including strategic, targeted boycotts, until it takes meaningful steps to account for its deep complicity in Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza—especially by dropping its subsidiary Live Nation Israel that openly supports the genocidal Israeli military and artwashes apartheid.
Israel “Disappearing to the Margins” of Horizon due to Academic Boycotts: Let’s Escalate the Exclusion from Below!
After 20 months of Israel’s ongoing livestreamed genocide against 2.3 million Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, BDS pressure from the broad Palestine solidarity movement across European higher education is finally succeeding. In particular, academic boycott and divestment mobilizations by student and university staff have pushed Israel to the margins of the European Union (EU)’s Horizon research program–the world’s largest research program.

Boycott, Divest, Sanction:

What BDS means to Palestinians
CAMPAIGNS
Boycott Microsoft's Xbox
Microsoft is perhaps the most complicit tech company in Israel’s illegal occupation, apartheid regime and ongoing genocide against 2.3 million Palestinians in Gaza – which is why Microsoft is a now priority BDS target.

BOYCOTT REEBOK
Reebok sponsors the Israel Football Association (IFA), which includes in its official league teams in illegal Israeli settlements on occupied Palestinian land. The IFA advocates, together with the Israeli government, to maintain these teams.
ECONOMIC BOYCOTT
The economic boycott of Israel aims to put pressure on Israel to comply with international law and to persuade private companies to end their participation in Israel’s crimes. The Israeli economy is particularly dependent on international trade and investment, making it especially susceptible to international economic boycotts. Many global companies, such as G4S and HP, profit from helping Israel maintain its system of apartheid and settler colonialism. Campaigns against and divestment from international companies increase the pressure on them to end their complicity with Israel’s oppression of Palestinians.
CULTURAL BOYCOTT
Israel overtly uses culture as a form of propaganda to whitewash or justify its regime of occupation, settler-colonialism and apartheid over the Palestinian people. Just as South African anti-apartheid activists had called on international artists, writers and cultural institutions to culturally boycott South Africa, PACBI urges international cultural workers and cultural organizations, including unions and associations, to boycott and/or work towards the cancellation of events, activities, agreements, or projects involving Israel, its lobby groups or its cultural institutions.
Right To Boycott
Having failed to stop the rise in worldwide support for the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement for Palestinian freedom, justice and equality, Israel is now launching a desperate and dangerous fight back.
Mask off Maersk
Maersk does not just support the US-enabled Israeli genocide through outbound shipping of military cargo from the U.S. to Israel. Maersk ships also carry military cargo to arms manufacturers in the US in order for these weapons companies to assemble the weapons that murder our people
BNP PARIBAS
Avec Attac et l’Association France Palestine Solidarité (AFPS), nous avons décidé de cibler la banque française BNP Paribas de par sa complicité envers le régime d’apartheid et de colonisation israélien qui occupe illégalement les territoires palestiniens de Cisjordanie et de Jérusalem Est et qui perpétue un génocide à Gaza, selon un arrêté de la Cour Internationale de Justice (CIJ). La construction et l’expansion des colonies israéliennes constituent une violation majeure du droit international. La colonisation israélienne en Cisjordanie, élément central du régime d’apartheid israélien, est un crime de guerre selon l’ONU et est à l’origine de nombreuses violations des droits humains, dont la mort de plus de 660 Palestinien·nes depuis 1 an. Quatre banques françaises, BNP Paribas, le groupe Banque Populaire – Caisse d’Épargne, la Société Générale et le Crédit Agricole, figurent parmi les dix institutions financières européennes qui ont investi le plus dans des entreprises impliquées dans les colonies illégales et dans l’armement d’Israël.
Booking.com: Stop Profiting from War Crimes
Booking.com directly supports and benefits from Israel’s illegal occupation of the illegally occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem, by offering services such as vacation homes and hotels in Israeli illegal settlements built on stolen Palestinian land.
